The Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Bill, to combat internet piracy, is being rushed through Parliament under urgency tonight. It would allow copyright owners to ask for a six-month suspension of the internet accounts of those who repeatedly infringe.

The House is currently in urgency to pass Christchurch earthquake recovery measures. But a spokesman for Simon Power, who sponsors the bill, confirmed other legislation would also be rushed through.



Democracy? Never heard of it...
